Building of the Federal Court in São Paulo: closed by strike Every year, officials of the judiciary and the President of Brazil don't reach an agreement when it comes to salary increases. It is also common these officials require salary increase in election period, a period when it is forbidden by law to grant wage increases as it may be interpreted as vote buying for election. This mental game only hinders the compliance of the laws in the country, as delays the progress of legal proceedings and the granting of social benefits.
